Scared Straight

SMILE

Jimmy received a parrot for Christmas. The parrot was fully
grown, with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary.

Every other word was an expletive; those that weren't
expletives were, to say the least, rude. Jimmy tried to
change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words,
playing soft music... anything he could think of. Nothing
worked.

He yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the
bird, and the bird got madder and more rude.

Finally, in a moment of desperation, Jimmy put the parrot in
the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird swearing,
squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, there
was absolute quiet.

Jimmy was frightened that he might have actually hurt the
bird, and quickly opened the freezer door.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto Jimmy's extended arm and
said, "I'm sorry that I offended you with my language and my
actions, and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to
correct my behavior".

Jimmy was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude
and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot
continued, "May I ask what the Chicken did?"
